Google Apps for Your Domain (
www.google.com/a) allows you to set up mail
(and a bunch of other things) for your domain. You can then set up (or get
your ISP to set) up the MX for your domain appropriately
There's nothing implicit in registering a domain which means that the ISP
who handle the registration have to run the email (although many do)
